Best classical acoustic-electric on a budget?

[Rowan]

I've been wanting an acoustic for some time now. Something I can take around with me to jam or just play at home. My friend's father has an old yahama classical guitar and after playing that I definately want a classical. And if I get an acoustic electric I could incorporate some really cool tones in a band setting.

Could a good classical acoustic-electric be had for around $300-$400?

I picked up as student model for around 300$, and it totally, totally rocks. Great feel, dynamics, and good projection. Check it out.

Hmm interesting. Does anyone know anything about Ibanez or Yamaha models in the same price range?

Ovation.

As much of an Ovation fan as I am, I think the best is the Chet Atkins Gibson model. They just sound gorgeous live or recorded.

I would look at Yamaha. Not sure what the cgx-171 goes for these days. Probably more than that. I bet they have something similar for less.

I have the Ibanez AEG10NE, built in preamp/eq and tuner, for $299, an excellent deal:

Don't know how they price out where you are, but a Manuel Rodriguez student model might be just the job - the one I have is a cracker. See their website.

My live classical is a Line 6 300 series. Tried it once and was absolutely blown away. It models either a high end classical or flamenco and all points in between.
